Hiatis

Well, I took an unexpected hiatis from blogging for awhile. I will try to keep up with it, but with 2 kids and a business I am trying to get off the ground, I can't make any promises. Check out my business!

But if you are just here to check up on the kidlets, here you go!
In June we went to Lake Powell with Brad's cousins. The kids had a blast playing on the house boat, playing in the sand & water, and riding the wave runners. Our week down south was a blast!

We have been busy working away on the playroom mostly. More on that as soon as it gets finished, which is almost there!
They kids have been busy with swim lessons this summer, and playing with friends. We have been to a few BBQ's with friends and it is so great to see them growing up and starting to play together. Out of 5 couples we have 9 kids. We will be outnumbered in the next year!
We were able to celebrate our friend Nick and Ashley's little boy Dane's 1st birthday last weekend. The kids enjoyed the blow up pool and running around. I think we need a bigger pool for those 9 kids.
Devin's Birthday is next week! So the next post will be on that! But here are some pictures to get you by until then!

Devin has been really into Minnie Mouse the last couple of weeks. She found Brad's old Mickey in Alex's room and has been carrying around and sleeping with him.
